The importance of maintaining the cosmic chain of interdependence need to be reaffirmed
by people of all religions, believing that when any part of the chain snaps the
potentiality of destruction is also of cosmic proportion. The knowledge of cosmic
interdependence, provided by primal tribal worldview, is a valuable perspective to keep
our relationship with God and all else not only meaningful but also productive.

Interfaith dialogue should not intend to take away or brush aside respective and
distinct faiths and practices of other religions nor should it aim at coming to a common
and syncretized belief. It rather should seek to accomplish a mutual recognition and
understanding of `other' faiths and beliefs to build good relationships between religious
schools, as people are expected to live in harmony in any given community of a region.

In a world that is increasingly becoming religiously intolerant, interfaith dialogue
has become essential in order to help people discover, celebrate and promote the reality
of pluralism. It is important that people respect and have appreciation for other's faith
traditions. In dialogue we hope to build relationships, identify commonly-held beliefs and
enhance the participants' own faith experience.
